Feels like a good night to post this: We hail thee, Carolina, and sing thy high praise; With loyal devotion, rememb'ring the days, When proudly we sought thee, thy children to be; Here's a health, Carolina, forever to thee!

Jake Bentley has been an outstanding QB for the Gamecocks during a difficult transition. He has handled himself with class and been a model student athlete for his career thus far. Wishing him a speedy recovery!

My dad, Bill Kimrey retired today after coaching for over 40 years. He shared this with me today: "Erik, when it's all over your trophies won't be made of silver & gold but of flesh & blood. Remember you coach for your players and the impact you have on their lives." #Wisdom

Watching the game back. A few thoughts: 1. Our tackling was superb. I think we missed around 5 tackles. 2. Hilinski’s knee brace saved his ACL. 3. Our man coverage is pretty stellar now. 4. With the DL play our D is approaching elite. Just have to do it every week.

Phil Petty will be missed. He was a competitor and leader… intelligent, thoughtful, gritty as heck and our QB1. Though he is no longer here his spirit lives and his legacy will remain steadfast at the University of South Carolina. Thread (1/5)
